Higher stability of p53 leads to higher fluorescence (levels of folded p53) in both transcriptionally active and inactive (QS1/2) p53 mutants. a, EGFP-tagged p53 mutants were transfected into H1299 cells and the average fluorescence intensity was measured 48 h after transfection using a FACscan. Levels of folded p53 were correlated with intrinsic thermodynamic stability. Transcriptionally active mutants had lower levels of folded protein than transcriptionally inactive ones with the QS1/2 scaffold. b, Western blot showing the total fraction of p53 protein 48 h after transfection. The total fraction of p53 correlates well with thermodynamic stability of the transcriptionally inactive QS1/2 mutants.
